Jun. 01 2023
United for Literacy is approaching its 125th anniversary. From the organization’s very beginning, we have worked from the perspective that literacy is a tool for social change and equity. Just as we are always working to create positive change in the lives of our learners, the communities we work in, and Canada as a whole, we also grow and change to demonstrate our “All Welcome” philosophy in action.
June is Pride month and National Indigenous History Month.
United for Literacy celebrates our 2SLGBTQ+ and Indigenous employees, volunteers, learners, partners and supporters. We honour and celebrate everyone who identifies as Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and all other identities of gender or sexual expression. We commemorate the history, heritage, and diversity of First Nation, Métis, and Inuit People in Canada. We work collaboratively with these communities to create programs that are respectful of the needs of everyone. Using an individualized approach to learning means that learners read books and use resources that are meaningful to them. We are also committed to using language that is respectful of the vast array of people we connect with every day.
